| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from O Pioneers! by Willa Cather: pened to be the first silo on the Divide, and
Alexandra's neighbors and her men were skep-
tical about it. "To be sure, if the thing don't
work, we'll have plenty of feed without it,
indeed," Barney conceded.
Nelse Jensen, Signa's gloomy suitor, had his
word. "Lou, he says he wouldn't have no silo
on his place if you'd give it to him. He says
the feed outen it gives the stock the bloat. He
heard of somebody lost four head of horses,

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Flame and Shadow by Sara Teasdale: Of the rushing, pouring sound of the sea
That the great trees made.
One thought in my mind went over and over
While the darkness shook and the leaves were thinned --
I thought it was you who had come to find me,
You were the wind.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from King James Bible: the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
LEV 20:5 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his
family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to
commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
LEV 20:6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits,
and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face
against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
LEV 20:7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the
LORD your God.
LEV 20:8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD
which sanctify you.
